A-rod, drugs etc.

So unless you live in a cave and are still using an antenna TV (although apparently you still might have a few weeks to step out of the dark ages on that one...that's another rant entirely) then you have heard that baseball player Alex Rodriguez, aka A-rod, aka A-fraud, aka A-roid has admitted to using performance enhancing drugs.

And now let the classic excuses, claims of victimization, claims of naivete, and of course the ever present claim of current cleanliness start to fly.

So far this jack ass has claimed (and please imply pathetic mocking sarcastic tone to the following):

- he just didn't know what he was taking. There are just so many different doctors and nutritionists, they all gave him so many different substances he just couldn't keep up.

(and now to steal from SNL: SERIOUSLY?! No SERIOUSLY!? you just didn't know what you were taking. You have tested positive for two substances which if taken in the wrong amounts can easily shut down various vital organs and most likely kill you, and you just didn't know what you were taking?! Tell ya what, I have this magic drink for you which will guarantee you will finally win a World Championship all you gotta do is drink. Oh, don't mind that Clorox label, it was the only jug I had in which to place the magical mystery world series winning drink. Now drink monkey boy and quit asking questions)

- It was a different era and it was a time when it wasn't illegal...

(guess what numb nuts, steroids have always been illegal. Only Andro was not for a brief time and if your taking that your taking the good stuff as well. Although you wouldn't have known, right? And, you fucking idiot, you tested positive for illegal steroids, one of which doctors aren't even allowed to prescribe.)

- Oh, but I've been clean since I came to NY.

(Right, and we should believe you because... You cheating bastard. You are only admitting it since you got caught. And of course you are only admitting to what you got caught for. There is no way in hell anyone should believe you are clean now. And, how the hell would you know, you admittedly and obviously don't pay attention to what "supplements" to take anyway.

Now, what is the going rate on snipers? Why? Because, this bastard and many others have made hundreds of millions (maybe billions) off of this shit. A-rod won't be paying back his salary for the years he admits to cheating and neither will Bonds, McGuire, etc. etc. We are in the midst of the worst economic downturn in history and that money could be very useful back in the American economy where it belongs. Actually why don't we (the American people) take all the past earnings/winnings of these assholes and use that as the economic stimulus. And what are they supposed to do? That doesn't matter, remember the sniper part.

Anyway, why do people keep watching these morons? Why are people watching baseball and going to games? Even the die hard fans will admit it is a boring sport but the statistics are the attraction. With most if not all the modern players being dirty the statistics go out the window, and so should the "sport".

Even the most avid fan will admit that drug scandals like this are bad for their sport. These players are a blemish and horrible for the future of the sport. But, people keep watching, they keep paying for baseball shit. What does that say about these"fans"?

AHHHH! I fucking hate baseball.
